Family functioning at meals relates to adherence in young children with type 1 diabetes
Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 10/28/09

Patton SR et al. – This was the first study to examine the relationship between mealtime family functioning and children's dietary adherence and glycaemic control in families of young children with T1DM. Previous research has found mealtime family functioning to be impaired in families of young children with T1DM when compared with families of children without diabetes. Research is needed to determine if family functioning and dietary adherence can be improved via specific family–based behavioural training around mealtimes.
